The difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting are as follows; Consecutive interpretation means the speaker has to finish his/her speech or talk before the interpreter starts interpreting while in simultaneous interpreting where the participants usually wear headphones the interpreter renders the translation into a target words simultaneously with the speaker.

Simultaneous interpreting is done in real-time while the speaker is talking, typically through headphones and a microphone in a separate booth. Consecutive interpreting involves the interpreter speaking after the speaker pauses, usually taking notes during the speech to aid in accurate translation.
